" This is a great location in the Airport business center right off of highway 68. Restaurants are located within a 5 minute drive and players will have a full hour lunch break! Players will also have complete privacy and a noise free playing environment. A skittles room will be offered down the hall for players wishing to analyze their games. Coffee will also be available on site for $1 and this gets you unlimited refills! We will also have some available snacks for 50 cents/each. Please spread the word about this tournament to everyone you know. This is limited to 25 players due to fire code restrictions on the building, but if future interest becomes increasingly rapid, another venue can be arranged. This is a test tournament, to see what kind of interest this generates. Please show your support for NC Chess and help support this event. "
